The debate will take place at 9 p.m. on Jan. 7 on the campus of St. Anselm College. It will be moderated by ABC's Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos and WMUR's Josh McElveen.

Debate crews are getting the center ready to take center stage. Light rigger Walter Webber is helping out with the spotlight.

"I go up in the light and I focus in on all the candidates and everything," Webber said.

St. Anselm students, meanwhile, stood in for the candidates during debate practice.

The students impressed the stage manager on loan from ?Good Morning America.?

"Everything's going incredibly smooth. The stand-ins we have from this school are so intelligent. They're asking questions that we couldn't even think of, kind of. (They) installed our faith in the future generation," stage manager Scott Kaye said.

Stephanopoulos told News 9 he expects some fireworks.

"We think it's our job to make sure that the differences between and among the candidates are exposed and really hashed out before the voters of N.H., so they can make up their minds and make their decisions, fully informed decisions by Tuesday, and my sense is the candidates are not going to be shy about that,? Stephanopoulos said.

The debate will be broadcast on WMUR and across the nation on ABC.

WMUR.com will livestream the debate and provide live updates throughout the night.
